Chapter 526: "Pie (π)" Song and Dance Girl Troupe
Meng De held the standard dinner plate and a small iron spoon and lined up at the end of the line.
The Wuhun Empire's standard plate is a bit rectangular, with a few slightly raised in the middle to separate the staple food and dishes, and it is also equipped with a mug of about 300 milliliters for milk or goat's milk.
The Wuhun Empire is located in the north of the Douluo Continent, with many plains and grasslands, and the amount of cattle and sheep raised is quite large, and milk and goat's milk are often eaten.
The cutlery is all made of aluminum, which is both lightweight and easy to clean.
Meng De lined up for a while, and soon it was his turn.
In front of the table where the meal was picked, behind the window of the meal, was a guy who was cooking, and in front of the guy, three rectangular iron plates were stacked, which were filled with steaming white rice.
Meng De saw it and raised his eyebrows.
"Are you eating rice today?"
The Wuhun Empire is located in the north, the main food crop is wheat, flour products are the staple food, and Meng De has eaten white steamed buns for several days in a row.
Behind the window of the dining room, the guy smiled.
"Yes, boss, the Star Luo Empire has sent a lot of rice in the past few days, and the chef said to make some of it for everyone to try."
Unlike the Wuhun Empire, the Star Luo Empire is located in the south, with a warm and humid climate, and all the food crops grown are rice, with rice as its staple food.
Meng De looked at it, and his eyes turned to the fellow.
"Rice is okay, but don't make it every day, eat our own flour first, wait until it's almost eaten, and then eat rice, the southern climate is humid, flour is easy to absorb water, it is easy to grow mold and deteriorate, and it is not easy to preserve.
In addition, the starch content of rice is not as high as that of flour, so we still have to use flour as the main thing. ”
"Yes."
The man replied respectfully, and then shoveled a sliced piece of rice with a spatula and placed it on Mengde's plate.
After putting it away, the man took the tongs in the tablet next to him, and gave Meng De a few large pieces of buttoned meat with plum cabbage, and beat a spoonful of vegetables.
These are all sent by the logistics of the Star Luo Empire, the Star Luo Empire has many mountainous hills and paddy fields, there are few plains, the limited grassland is used to raise war horses, the amount of cattle and sheep is very small, pigs are its main breeding livestock, and pork is the main meat.
Originally, these rice, pork, and vegetables were to be sent to the front line of the Star Luo Empire, that is, Dai Mubai's side, but now they were cut off by Meng De and all of them were eaten by the troops at the Häagen-Dazs Pass.
Moreover, because the amount sent was very large, the troops led by Meng De could not eat it all.
Meng De divided the surplus grain into two parts, one part was transported to Qiannawei by a large transport plane modified by the White Eagle 36, and the other part was sold to the residents of the fortress of Häagen-Dazs Pass to earn extra money.
It was just perfect!
In the cafeteria, the guy finally scooped a spoonful of milk for Meng De, and Meng De turned around, found an empty seat in the restaurant, and sat down to eat.
Sitting at the table, Meng De held a small iron spoon in his right hand, scooped up a mouthful of rice, and put it in his mouth.
The rice is very soft in taste, but it is not fluffy, it is very different from steamed buns, but it is a little sticky, and when you chew it slightly, the starch inside releases a little sweetness, and the taste is quite good.
However, Meng De was still not satisfied.
Although these rices are full of aroma, the starch content in them is not as much as that of wheat of the same weight, and the sweetness is not so high, if the soldiers from the north of the Wuhun Empire eat it for a long time, their bodies will inevitably become thinner.
Meng De is from Lanxing, and he remembers the memories before the crossing clearly, in the past, some residents from the north came to work in the south, and their weight went down directly within a few months, just because of the change in staple food.
It's better to have steamed buns!
Meng De affirmed it, scooped a large spoonful of button meat with plum vegetables with it, and put it in his mouth.
The buckle meat is quite fat, very soft, and you can go straight to the end with a bite, but it is not greasy, there is no fat flowing out of it, and most of the fat is absorbed into the plum vegetables.
Meng De chewed the plum cabbage again by the way.
Compared with the fat and soft button meat, the plum cabbage is quite chewy, and Meng De chewed several times before swallowing this mouthful of food.
Not bad.
Meng De said in his heart......
Soon, he had finished his dinner, and after eating all his meals, he put the cutlery in a special place to be washed, and then he left the cafeteria and walked out into the street.
Mende walked down the street for a while, and after a while, he came to a theater.
The theater, in addition to the fighting spirit field, is another entertainment place in Douluo Continent, where people can enjoy all kinds of dramas, drama performances, and sometimes song and dance troupes or bands.
Today, the theater is going to perform with a band called "Pie (π)".
Meng De entered the theater, bought a ticket, and went up the stairs to the second floor.
On the second floor, there were already quite a few people, some were soldiers or officers in the Mengde barracks, and some were residents of the Häagen-Dazs Pass fortress.
On the floor, there are small round tables with a chair on each side of the round table, and the chairs and tables are marked with numbers.
Meng De found an empty seat and sat down, and a waiter immediately stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and saluted respectfully.
"Hello General, would you like a drink, or a dessert? Drinking it after a meal will make you feel more pleasant. ”
It was already late in time, and the waiter obviously saw this, and made a sales pitch to Mengde, and he said as he took the menu very easily and naturally, and opened it.
And when it was opened, the waiter's seemingly casual movements opened the page of the single package very accurately.
Skip the single-point page directly!
Meng De's gaze fell naturally.
This is a one-page package page, and the amount of set meals in it is not large, but there are some varieties, most of which include one or two snacks, one or two drinks, a small packet of tissues, a signed photo of the singer, and so on.
Perhaps in order to stimulate the guests' desire to collect, or to arouse some people's sense of achievement, the singer's autograph photo on each package is written with the word "random", and the label "Click the package multiple times to have the opportunity to collect all the singer's autographed photos".
Good marketing!
Mende admired. Such a high-end marketing technique, Meng De had only seen it in Lanxing before the crossing, and it was the first time he had encountered it in this Douluo Continent.
Could it be that this theater owner is a genius?
Meng De couldn't help but think this way.
At this moment, the waiter saw that Meng De was in a daze, and couldn't help but remind him.
"Sir? Mr? ”
"Huh? Oh. ”
Meng De reacted, looked at it again, and pointed his finger to one of the packages.
In the picture of this package, there are pictures of watermelon juice, fried chicken wings, sliced pork, fried rice, osmanthus cake, and a singer's signed photo, and a line of small print.
It reads, "Set No. 3: a bundle of watermelon juice, a fried chicken wing, a charcoal-grilled pork neck, a fried rice, an osmanthus cake, and three autographed photos of the singer." ”
"Bring me this No. 3 package." Meng De said, looking up at the waiter.
The waiter was a little surprised, and looked at Meng De.
"Didn't the general eat dinner?"
The set meal ordered by Meng De is quite large, not to mention one person, but two people, which are more than enough.
Meng De smiled.
"I've eaten it, but I eat a lot more."
"Oh, I see, I see."
The waiter nodded suddenly, and when he looked at Meng De's tall figure of more than one meter nine, his eyes were full of envy.
Hey, if only I could have such a tall body......
The waiter sighed inwardly, with a little loss on his face, turned around, and helped Meng De order.
After a short while, the waiter walked back with a food cart and placed all the food ordered by Meng De on the small round table.
"General, please use it slowly."
The waiter bowed respectfully, then took a few steps back, then turned around and pushed the food cart away.
The waiter left, and Meng De picked up a piece of chicken wings and ate it while enjoying the song and dance performance on the stage.
A little farther away on the stage, several young girls are sweating, wearing beautiful dresses with short sleeves and long skirts, singing and dancing energetically on the stage.
Maybe it's because it's a bit hot, or maybe it's because the theater is more confined to a space, or maybe it's because of the energetic dance that makes these girls sweat a lot on their foreheads.
When they turned around from time to time, Meng De could clearly see that the back of these girls was wet, and it was obvious that they were all soaked in sweat.
It seems that being a singer is not easy, you need to work so hard......
Meng De said in his heart, poured himself a glass of watermelon juice, and watched it while drinking.
On the stage, the girls' smart dancing and melodious singing were carried out at the same time.
"It's so hard!
Adults say it is easy, but where is the hope for me?
The national highway is full of cars and traffic.
I stood at the intersection, cowering.
Whose bad words and cold words? Makes my heart shrink.
Chasing dreams ......"
The eleven girls sang incessantly, accompanied by energetic and cheerful dances, which caused many otaku on the first and second floors to shout and cheer wildly.
Many boys were shouting the names of the girls, and their eyes were full of excitement and excitement as they looked at the stage.
If you sing well, dance well, and look beautiful, you are easily popular, no matter in that world.
In the private seat on the second floor, Meng De drank a sip of watermelon juice, and just as the girls had finished singing the first area, he put down the glass in his hand and applauded several girls.
It's so good to sing!
The corners of Meng De's mouth were slightly hooked, and his eyes were full of appreciation.
On this side, Meng De was enjoying the song and dance performance of the women's group at the Haagen-Dazs Pass Fortress, and on the other side, the infantry who had escaped death from the Star Luo Empire was riding fast horses and rushing north without stopping.
"Drive, drive!"
The young soldier shouted vigorously as he whipped his horse's buttocks with all his might.
The war horse was in pain, neighed in pain, and ran forward with all his might.
On the side of the road, as the war horse galloped past, some low flowers and plants fell directly forward, accompanied by a large cloud of flying dust, and it was not until the war horse had passed for a while that the dust fell back to the ground.
